OK, so I have a question about this, how was it legitimate for Brad to answer at this point? Brad would have seen Alex initially credit Watson with the right answer and then reverse the judgement, rendering the answer incorrect. Brad would have been able to infer the correct answer at this point.

In fact, Brad didn't answer the question... I was wondering about that since the answer was obvious just from Ken's guess and Watson's response.
